Luy: Bong got bigger kickbacks than Napoles

Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. got at least P90 million in kickbacks from projects funded by his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel and which were implemented by three government agencies, according to whistleblower Benhur Luy.

Luy made the disclosure on Thursday during a hearing on Revilla’s petition for bail in connection with a plunder complaint filed against the senator, Janet Lim-Napoles, Revilla’s former aide Richard Cambe and John Raymond Asis.

He said Revilla got 50 percent commission from projects that passed through the Technology and Livelihood Resource Center (TLRC), National Agribusiness Corp. (Nabcor) and National Livelihood Development Corp. (NLDC).

Luy, the financial officer of Napoles’ JLN Corp., said the senator transferred at least P180 million of his PDAF to the Social Development for Farmers Foundation (SDFF) from 2006 to 2010. Of that amount, 50 percent of P180 million or P90 million went to Revilla.

He added that he prepared the Memorandum of Agreement between Revilla’s office and the implementing agencies (IAs).

"For the TLRC and Nabcor, 50 percent [of Revilla’s PDAF paid to SDFF owned by Napoles]goes to Senator Ramon Revilla. Madam Janet Napoles gets 32 percent, Atty. Richard Cambe has five percent, three percent for the Implementing Agencies as Management Fee and 10 percent for the head of the IA who is the contact of Madam Janet Napoles,” he said.

The TLRC was then headed by Dennis Cunanan.

“For the NLDC, Senator Revilla got 50 percent, 40 percent goes to Madam Janet Napoles, five percent goes to Atty. Richard Cambe, three percent goes to the IAs because they charge for management fees and two percent for the head of the agency who is the contact of Madam Janet Napoles,” Luy said.

The prosecution pulled a surprise on the defense by submitting Luy’s external hard drive, as well as printed copies of the contents of the hard drive and the Summary of Rebates/Commissions of lawmakers who had transactions with non-government organizations controlled by Napoles.

The files of Benhur in his laptop or hard copies does not mean anything. I can also prepare a detailed list thru excell anytime of the day, but Ike Benhur he cannot present a signed voucher received by bong or cambe. Chavit presented a detail list written in a columnar sheet in the erap case before and ended in the waste can of sandigan bayan. Saan kaya humuhugot ng Lakas ng loob ang ombudsman in presenting a witness who has nothing but list and worst did not deliver personally the monies.

I believe you and every body believe that they did it, but in a court of law, hearsay does not count. You could blame,accused a person of anything that you could ever think, but with out a proper evidence you could not convict him or her, to ordinary person you could, but to a person like Enrile, Bong Revilla, Estrada with all the best lawyer money could buy, you need a miracle. All of you want to convict government official of their wrong doing, but the funny things is were are the money. You could look at their Peso account but you could not touch their dollar account, which they hide most of their money. Se! we will taking and taking this issue for a century or another hundred years, but nothing will happened. If you ask me? how did this people get into their position, well because of the people stupidity, so in my point of view and in the point of view of a normal person with a normal thinking the blame are on the people who vote for them that put them in place. Do you agree!
